Noticed yesterday though I had an extra power connection and fuse coming off the battery into the car, opened up the glove box to find a bunch of wires, looks like the battery feed comes into these, also there's a black wire coming out of these that runs up to a grounding point and then a white and a red wire coming out the bottom which looks like it goes into the cars harness

Any ideas what this is or could of been? At the moment it looks like it was something that was removed but is no longer there, any ideas what these 2 wires could be tapping into the cars loom? Too dark, cold and wet to do any more investigating/pulling apart at the moment

Gonna have to pull it apart some more at the weekend I think try and work out where the wires are connected to the loom

I've heard of them being tapped into the fuel pump wiring, they tend to have 4 or 5 wires, but only 2 of them (positive and negative) are actually terminated. I'd guess it would have an inline fuse somewhere, so you could split it from there and pull the box out rather than cutting random wires.

So behind the glovebox it turned out the cable I assumed was coming in from the engine bay/battery to the loom wasn't the cable coming in at all, wires went from that loom up to the black box (insurance company black box by the looks of it) hidden in the top left, that black box was connected to a grounding point behind the glovebox towards the top and also connected to 2 thick wires in the cars loom that's clipped behind the glovebox. Snipped it and removed completely :-D

The mysterious power from the battery didn't go into the car in the end but under the plastic below the window in the engine bay and hidden in there I found a Meta t30 a second "black box", also snipped and removed

Thanks for the suggestions

Well that was unexpected, glad you figured it out and got rid of them.

So did some digging today and found not 1 but 2 "black boxes" So behind the glovebox it turned out the cable I assumed was coming in from the engine bay/battery to the loom wasn't the cable coming in at all, wires went from that loom up to the black box (insurance company black box by the looks of it) hidden in the top left, that black box was connected to a grounding point behind the glovebox towards the top and also connected to 2 thick wires in the cars loom that's clipped behind the glovebox.
